			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been doing some testing with the <a href="http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/WP-FBConnect">WordPress Facebook Connect</a> plugin.&#160; There are a couple sites I work with, particularly our swim team web site, <a href="http://www.macdolphins.org">MacDolphins.org</a>, where I need users to login and add data to the site.&#160; Each year when we do swim team registration I get lots of questions about how to register, forgotten usernames and passwords, etc.&#160; With the popularity of Facebook, I am thinking that leveraging Facebook login credentials could make things a lot easier for me and our swim team parents.</p>
<p>As a test, I have installed it on the site I am putting together for my youngest daughter’s soccer team (<a href="http://www.caslsharks.org">CASL Sharks</a>) to see&#160; how it works.&#160; For the most part, I am impressed – it pretty much works as advertised.&#160; I was able to login using my Facebook login and once my user was added to the WordPress user tables, I could change my permissions to allow my Facebook user id to post.&#160; I still need to do some work to support Facebook Connect for comments but the instructions look pretty straight forward.&#160; I think this would work well for the <a href="http://www.ncltc.us">NCLTC</a> and <a href="http://www.nclug.us">NCLUG</a> sites as well although Facebook Connect requires PHP5 and those sites are hosted on a PHP4 based server so I’ll have to sort that out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I use Flickr to host my photos and I’ve always wanted a better way to present them on WordPress blogs and this weekend I think I found it.&#160; <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/flickr-gallery/">Flickr-Gallery</a> is a great plugin.&#160; It is easy to set up and use and it integrates well with my theme.&#160; It has a nice selection of short code options.</p>
<p>The only thing I use which is missing is the ability to link or preferably, display, a slide show.&#160; I shoot a lot of pictures of our kids activities (skateboarding, soccer, basketball, swim team, etc.) and sharing them as a Flickr slide show is something I do frequently.</p>
<p>I found a solution to the missing slide show by using the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lightwindow/">Light Window</a> plugin in conjunction with the Flickr URL for the slide show I am interested in presenting.</p>
